DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Adolescents who frequent indoor tanning establishments may be at an increased risk of developing skin cancer later in life and acute adverse reactions. Data on the correlates of indoor tanning among this age group across various geographical regions of the U.S. are scarce. Additionally, although approximately one half of the states have legislation to increase consumer safety during indoor tanning, the impact of these laws is unknown. Before developing interventions or additional policies to reduce adolescent risk, a comprehensive assessment of the correlates of indoor tanning is warranted. Therefore, the primary aim of the proposed project will be to perform a multivariate analysis to explain use of tanning facilities by adolescents. Based on an ecological conceptual model, potential predictors will address multiple levels of influence, including psychological/affective, sociocultural, environmental, and policy variables. In order to achieve the primary aim, as well as to obtain valuable descriptive data, we will collect information that will form five discrete data sets. The following secondary aims will be accomplished: 1) to conduct telephone interviews with adolescents to assess potential individual-level correlates of indoor tanning use; 60 adolescents per the largest 100 U.S. cities will be included; 2) to assess whether each of the 50 U.S. states has a law that attempts to protect consumers from overexposure to UVR from indoor tanning and the level of stringency of each law; 3) to quantify the level of law enforcement in each of the 100 cities in the sample; 4) to assess the number of indoor tanning facilities (absolute and relative to the population) in each of the sample cities; and 5) to assess compliance of indoor tanning facilities with federal and, if applicable, state laws. Findings will be used to inform future multi-level interventions for reducing risks associated with indoor tanning.

描述（由申请人提供）：经常室内晒黑机构的青少年可能会增加生命后期的皮肤癌和急性不良反应的风险。在美国各个地理区域之间，该年龄段的室内晒黑相关性的数据很少。此外，尽管大约一半的州有立法在室内晒黑期间提高消费者的安全，但这些法律的影响尚不清楚。在制定干预措施或降低青少年风险的其他政策之前，有必要对室内晒黑的相关性进行全面评估。因此，拟议项目的主要目的是进行多元分析，以解释青少年对晒黑设施的使用。基于生态概念模型，潜在的预测因素将解决多个影响的影响，包括心理/情感，社会文化，环境和政策变量。为了实现主要目的并获得有价值的描述性数据，我们将收集将构成五个离散数据集的信息。将实现以下次要目标：1）与青少年进行电话采访，以评估室内晒黑使用的潜在个人水平相关性； 60 将包括美国最大100个城市的青少年； 2）评估美国50个州中的每个州是否都有一项法律，该法律试图保护消费者免受室内晒黑的过度暴露和每项法律的严格程度； 3）量化样本中100个城市中每个城市中的执法水平； 4）评估每个样本城市中室内晒黑设施的数量（绝对和相对于人口的绝对和人口）的数量； 5）评估室内晒黑设施与联邦和州法律的合规性。调查结果将用于告知未来的多层次干预措施，以减少与室内晒黑有关的风险。
